I work in "online payments for guns" and it's amazing how many innocent people get banned by PayPal over guns. I talk to at least one per week. In almost every case, these people simply weren't aware that PayPal prohibits firearm transactions. Although PayPal doesn't provide much warning, it is actually following an industry-wide practice. All the payment platforms prohibit guns [1].

I had someone walk away from a sale because he would only accept guntab after getting screwed on a PayPal transfer. I hadn’t heard of it then.

I know nothing about the industry you are in so far as payments go, but get the fees closer to 2% and you’ll own the market.
